Commentary on the Gospel of Mark

Aiming to provide a “plain, straightforward, practical exposition of reverent common sense,” W. N. Clarke’s Commentary on the Gospel of Mark emphasizes practical application and clear understanding of the text’s meaning. Clarke, a minister, was familiar with the technical issues raised by Mark’s text and highlights them appropriately, but his goal was to provide a commentary that edifies the life of the church. This commentary includes the long ending of Mark, 16.9–20.
